Family Support
Families First, our Family Reimbursement Project offered through our Children’s Center and the Adult Program, provides financial assistance to parents who require help with meeting some financial challenges associated with caring for a family member with a developmental disability. Financial reimbursement is provided for a variety of items and services including but not limited to respite, transportation for medical appointments, after school programs, summer camps, non-covered medical supplies, adapted equipment, etc.
Through our Home Equipment Project, families of children with physical disabilities may receive evaluations in the home setting or at our Center, performed by occupational and/or physical therapists. These evaluations help determine the need for special equipment, and/or simple home modifications that can be used to improve the child’s independence, and assist families with daily care. Recommended equipment can then be provided, often free of charge, for items that cannot be funded through any other source. Often the items are individually designed for the child, and may be modified, as the child grows, by a member of our team.
For adults, Family Support provides funding for a range of services to people who currently are not able to access Medicaid, SSI, or other resources. These services can include:
- Securing Medicaid, SSI, NYC housing assistance, US citizenship applications,
- Evaluations needed to apply for OPWDD services,
- Assist in purchase of goods and services needed in the home, or for respite services,
- Referrals for clinical assessments, school placement, or adult day programs.
